Do we still need to master front-end, or just learn enough to tell AI what to do?

AI tools are getting insanely good at front-end development — they can write HTML, CSS, and even React code in seconds. This makes me wonder:
Do we still need to spend years mastering front-end skills, or should we just learn enough to read, understand, and guide AI-generated code?

I’m starting to think that knowing how to think like a developer might be more important than writing every line by hand. If AI can handle the repetitive work, maybe our role shifts to giving it the right instructions and making sure the output meets real-world needs.

What do you think?
